Uncomfortable
Oct 27, 2008
robertgrimm-1 - imdb.com
One word sums up how I felt while watching W: uncomfortable. I went into this film expecting more of an absurdist comedy than a tragedy. The level of realism was far beyond what I expected. For the most part, the cast,... Full review
A Few Pieces Of An Historical Puzzle
Oct 21, 2008

Oliver Stone and Josh Brolin manage the impossible by giving a present reality a sort of farcical look. Frightening to see how easily the farce and the reality merge and marry in the most natural way. Brolin, eats his way into... Full review

I truly enjoyed watching this movie, yet I can say it is not what I was expecting from Oliver Stone. President Bush ratings are very low right now, this movie actually will help his ratings not hurt them. It shows the... Full review
Less about his presidency than about how he got there

Fargoisgreatmovie - imdb.com
Enter the theatre with the wrong expectations and you will be disappointed. I was excited to see the movie because I thought it would be a chronicle of George W Bush's presidency (2001-2008) as well as a biography of his life... Full review

David H. Schleicher - imdb.com
With his "in the moment" biopic "W." the normally volatile Oliver Stone wisely saves his judgments for history when hindsight will be 20/20. Achingly subdued and slightly satirical, Stone plays it straight and to the bone. Here he presents us with... Full review

M. J Arocena - imdb.com
That's what great artists do. They share their P.O.V with the rest of the world. There is no judgment involved, not really. Just a vision of the world through his own heart and soul. You may or may not agree with... Full review
An Independant view of W!

dave_scott10 - yahoo.com
Well I’m an independent so hopefully you take this review for what it’s worth! This film is not a Bomb and yes it does have a couple moments that make you laugh. I’m sure Democrats salivate and Republicans cringe when they... Full review
Don't Misunderestimate this Film

gryffindor249 - imdb.com
Lefties expecting a hatchet-job will be as disappointed as Righties expecting a hatchet-job. Demonstrating decency and restraint far beyond what his subject is deserving of, Oliver Stone demonstrates rare wisdom and the hindsight of someone trying to understand this period of... Full review
Excuse to Bash Bush

Let me just start by saying, I don't approve of the job Bush has done in his last two terms and I am counting down the days until he is out of office. Having said that this movie is no more... Full review
Great Acting, Very Entertaining Film

I had a chance to see this film on Wednesday and I loved it !!! I'm not a Bush fan or supporter, however what I loved most about it is that it isn't a Bush-hate fest. Rather, it was a successful... Full review

Hollywood Reporter, US
It's a gutsy movie but not necessarily a good one. Brolin is pitch-perfect, and though he doesn't look that much like W., he creates a memorable character that might not be W. but has vitality in his certitude and confusion. ... Full Review

Review: 'W.' takes sympathetic view of the prez The psychological picture the movie paints is as yawningly incomplete as its historical one - and can be yawningly tedious, too. ... Full Review

in the movie, according to whatever their respective political affiliations, Stone presents a take it or leave it given that W is as dumb as he looks, and there's not a scheming or calculating thing about him. Evolving from habitual slacker to compulsive snacker - leading up to his famous peanut choking episode - W takes up religion to conquer his drinking demons. ... Full Review

W." would have been a great movie if Stone waited another 10 years to make it, but for right now, it's just good enough. Obviously, the timing is perfect for "W." because of the impending election, but at the same time, it's lousy because the story isn't finished yet. ... Full Review
